How Watermelon72 works

1. 1

   Sign in with Discord, link your Minecraft account

   One link, one time. Your handle is what other readers see in the comments.

2. 2

   Fund your wallet in game

   Pay Watermelon72 in game and the balance appears here within seconds. No fee on the way in, none on the way out.

3. 3

   Follow free, subscribe when you want more

   Following a publication is free and puts its posts in your inbox. Paid work can be unlocked three ways: a subscription tier, a time-limited pass, or a one-off unlock of a single post that stays yours permanently.

4. 4

   Read the data, not just the claim

   Any figure inside a market report links back to the dataset it came from. Sort it, filter it, export it to CSV and check the writer's work yourself.

1. 1

   Start a publication in a minute

   Name, tagline, an about page, and you're live. News, comic or serial — serials get episode navigation and their own archive automatically.

2. 2

   Run a newsroom, not just a byline

   Invite co-editors with their own bylines. A publication can have as many as it needs, and co-authored posts credit everyone.

3. 3

   Write in blocks that do real work

   Stat rows, ranking tables, charts, polls and callouts are first-class — not screenshots. Drop /report into a post to embed a live generated market report that recomputes on every read.

4. 4

   Gate each post however you like

   Free, paid for any subscriber, or limited to one tier — set per post, with an optional à la carte price for readers who only want that one piece.

5. 5

   See what actually worked

   The Studio shows daily reads, your follower-to-subscriber funnel, and revenue attributed per post, so you can tell which piece paid for the month.

6. 6

   Withdraw any time

   Earnings sit in your publication's escrow and go back to your Minecraft account on request. No payout fee, no minimum, no waiting period.

• Reports are generated, not typed

  A market report built by hand comes with a disclaimer about miscounting. Ours is computed from a published dataset every time it is read.

• Ties stay ties

  Rankings never invent an arbitrary tiebreak to make a list look tidy.

• Corrections propagate

  Fix one trade and every report, chart and ranking that used it re-renders. Nothing is silently edited.

• Newsrooms, not just solo bylines

  Multiple editors per publication, with credit where it belongs.

• Analytics that answer a question

  Reads over time, conversion funnel, and revenue attributed to individual posts.

• Real leaderboards

  Writers, publications, posts and the market — all computed from the same data the rest of the site uses.
